Household Hazardous Waste Collection The 2007 Collection was a great success. Almost 1,700 pounds of household hazardous waste collected. Care Environmental of Landing, New Jersey collected the material for recycling, reuse or proper disposal. The Eastern Shore of Virginia Ground Water Committee has held an annual Household Hazardous Waste Collection since 2004. The Ground Water Committee has worked with various partners including: Accomack County, Northampton County, Eastern Shore Soil and Water Conservation District, Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, ESO Arts Center, Virginia Department of Environmental Quality and the Accomack-Northampton Planning District Commission to make these collections a reality. The collection is organized to protect the Eastern Shore’s groundwater from illegal disposal of material onto the ground or through septic or sewer drains. No commercial or industrial waste is accepted. Persons who register are allowed to dispose of 30 pounds free. Usable paint is donated to the Eastern Shore Food Bank. Over a hundred people have participated and over six tons of material have been removed from the Eastern Shore since 2004. |
